Most of remixed songs are tagged as remix, but Remix are also a rock band from Latvia. Founded in 1985 as a band of Latvian Radio with the Line-up:

They all were high-skilled musicians and that was the key of their achievements and popularity in Latvia, whole USSR and even eastern and part of western Europe.

In 1992 Remix turned into a band titled Riga which didn't last for long and split up after spending one year of rehearsing and concerting in USA.
In 1995 Remix rejoined for one 10-years anniversary song Release Me Now and even made a video for it.
